Another newspaper referred to "telegrams in code", received from abroad and from the secret headquarters of the Communists, "which are now being deciphered by a special department". These were SV1AG's little collection of QSL cards. Stefanos Eleftheriou of the Ministry immediately took up the matter.
By its flickering light he deciphered the letter which Henri de Montorgueil had written to Lucile Clamette. "One day before the term you name I myself will place the papers there for you." A sigh of satisfaction, quickly suppressed, came through his thin, colourless lips, and the light of the lanthorn caught the flash of triumph in his pale, inscrutable eyes.

Some delicately fine inscription was upon the dull gold of the inner rim of the miniature-frame, within the diamonds that surrounded it. Saxham deciphered: "Lucy, to Richard Mildare. For ever! 1879."

"On the contrary, he has done quite remarkably well," said Holmes.
At any rate, I can find no Greek words, and I see here a group of letters which may form one of the few Hebrew words that I know the word badim, 'lies. But you had better get it deciphered by an expert." "If it is Hebrew," said Badger, "we can manage it all right. There are plenty of Jews at our disposal."

The ancient Lixus deserves farther mention on account of the interest attached to its coins, a few of which remain, although but very recently deciphered by archeologists.
